Bureaucracy and institutions are by definition slower. It has always been like that.

If they want to have more impact, they need to adapt to more market-like techniques.

Whether an institution moving faster would be good or bad, I am not sure actually. Probably moving too fast for something that belongs to "everyone", with all kinds of heated opinions, etc. is not the best place to move fast.

OTOH, and this is as a spanish (I do not know enough about the specifics of America), I feel that nowadays part of the insritutions are "injected" changes that the society is not demanding from them. Destroying the established base and traditions of the (in this case) society. Social engineering and influencing campaigns I would say.

Maybe this is not the main topic of the article. Just was a brain dump I was doing about observations of my own.

These things have always existed actually. It is just that with technology and many people using it, information from individuals, etc. this influence is probably made more effectively.
